JMO, but I don't think that a lot of the top MMA guys take the sustained punishment that boxers do. Yes, the individual punches they get rocked with are just as bad (maybe worse b/c of the gloves), but getting peppered with a couple hundred shots to the face would be far worse for the brain, I'd think.
